Community Diagnostic Centres

The DM01 Diagnostics Waiting Times and Activity dataset is a monthly National Health Service statistical return that tracks waiting times and completed procedures for 15 key diagnostic tests across England. Further information is available at the following link:

https://www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/statistical-work-areas/diagnostics-waiting-times-and-activity/monthly-diagnostics-waiting-times-and-activity/monthly-diagnostics-data-2026-27/

The percentage of non-emergency DM01 elective tests carried out in community diagnostic centres for 2025/26 was 17.7%. There are no plans to publish this data.

Data for all settings is available at the following link:

https://www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/statistical-work-areas/diagnostics-waiting-times-and-activity/monthly-diagnostics-waiting-times-and-activity/

Data for community diagnostic centres (CDCs) specifically is available at the following link:

https://www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/statistical-work-areas/diagnostics-waiting-times-and-activity/CDC-Management-Information/

CDC data is management information and so subject to less validation than official statistics.

The estimated percentage of non-emergency DM01 elective tests carried in CDCs for 2025/26 was 17.7%.
